DMX Extraction - Agent Lemon 1

This document provides instructions for extracting Dextromethorphan (DXM) from cough syrup using household chemicals and simple equipment. The process involves adding ammonia to cough syrup containing DXM to convert it to its freebase form, then extracting the freebase DXM into lighter fluid. The DXM-containing lighter fluid layer is then mixed with a citric acid solution to convert the DXM back to its salt form, after which the solvent is boiled off, leaving behind a highly concentrated DXM extract known as "Agent Lemon" or "DXemon juice".

Agent Lemon DXM Extraction Index: MaterialsEquipmentConceptStep by Step how toEffectsThe Materials: Dextromethorphan containing cough syrup.

DO NOT get the kind that contains activ e ingredients such as guaifenesin or acetominiphen, only get the kind that has DXM and alchohol in it. At the levels you'll be drinking those items could be fatal! Get two 4 oz. bottles. Ordinary Household ammmonia (clear, not lemon or some other scent) Naptha Lighter Fluid ("Zippo", or "Ronsonal" are good ones.) Be sure to test different brands to be sure they're ok to use. Take a drop of fluid and let it evaporate from a glass plate or mirror. It should evaporate with no residue. Citric Acid. (lemon juice workes fine.) Equipment: Some containers and flexible rubber tubing to use as a siphon. Fish tank hose is fine... Concept: Prepare ahead of time a solution of the citric acid in water. For two bottles of syrup (4 oz each) use 3 tablespoons of lemon juice in 8 fluid ounces of water . Add ammonia to DXM. DXM converts from hydrobromide salt to freebase and precipit ates out of water. Since it's now nonpolar it wants to go into a non polar solvent. N ow you add a nonpolar solvent and shake hard. Free base goes into solution in solve nt. Let the solvent float to the top. (it doesn't mix with water) Physically separat e the layers. Now the DXM is in the nonpolar layer, mix that with the acid and sha ke well. The DXM converts back into the acid salt (since lemon juice has citric aci d

in it, it makes DXM hydrocitrate). This is so cool because the DXM is practicall y pulled across the oil-water interface by the hydrogen ion gradient Now you throw out the oil layer, and the DXM is now acid salt in the lemon juice. Boil it for a few minutes on a hotplate or in the microwave, stir it good, so any volatile sol vent that remains will evaporate. You are left with "Agent Lemon" or "DXemon juice", A highly concentrated product , which is superior to cough syrup -- if you really wanted to, you could probably boil away the water -- with no danger, since the amount of solvent is almost nothing, and get a crystaline product that might be cut with anhydrous citric acid. Step by step how to: Pour 2 (4 oz.) bottles of cough syrup in a jar with a good water tight lid. (a mason jar or something) Pour in a lot of ammonia. Excess is not a serious problem. An ammount of ammonia about equal to the syrup volume or more is good. Stir. Add about a 1/2 inch thick layer of lighter fluid on top of the ammonia cough sy rup mixture. Seal it up and shake the hell out of it. At least five minutes or so. Let the organic solvent layer separate, it will float to the top of the water. ( the lighter fluid now contains the dxm) Use a siphon to separate the layers. Fill the siphon (your flexible rubber tube) with water, and while pluging one end with your finger plunge the other end into the water/ammonia layer (the pink junk under the lighter fluid). Hold the free end of the siphon below the other end of the siphon, and let go of the end. Let the liquid drain into a jar. Throw the pink watery/ammonia crap out . If you want to minimize the amount of water-ammonia-cough syrup inactive ingredi

ents, add more water to the lighter fluid, shake it up again, let it separate and siph on again. You can do it three or four times to be sure you get all the ammonia out. When done you should only have the solvent layer left. Now mix the solvent layer with the citric acid solution (lemon juice). Shake the hell out of it. 5 minutes or so. After that, let it settle. It takes a few minutes to separate. Wait. Next stage. Use the siphon again. Be a little conservative and don't let any sol vent get into the siphon, so leave a little water layer below the lighter fluid. Toss the lighter fluid out and save the lemon juice portion (it now contains the DXM) Boil the lemon juice (on an electric stove or burner) on low heat for a while, t he theory is that if there's a little bit of solvent there, it will boil away. Transfer to a snapple jar or something equivelent and refridgerate it to help it cool off. Once cooled off, drink it! It tastes bitter as hell so (dxm is bitter tasting) you may want to boil as much of the water away as possible so you won't have to drink so much of it. Maybe even add some sugar to it or something. Effects: Expect to start to feel the effects about an hour after drinking it. After about hour two, you're gonna be buzzin big time!
